The cure for silver hair does not require dyeing

Frequent visits to hair salons or home-made silver hair dyes are about to become obsolete thanks to inventions of international researchers from the Netherlands, Germany and Britain.

According to a new research report published online in the American Society of Experimental Association's FASEB magazine, people with hair loss have undergone the process of "mass epidermal oxidative stress" derived from Hydrogen peroxide accumulation in hair follicles, causing their hair to bleach themselves from the inside out.

The in-and-out bleaching process (salt-and-pepper hair) can be treated with a new proprietary method, in which a compound subject to activation of sunlight becomes " modified pseudocatalase ", Help prevent silver hair process.

Dr. Gerald Weissmann, editor-in-chief of FASEB magazine, stated: "For generations, people have created countless ways to hide silver hair. However, for the first time, scientists has developed a cure that really resolves the root of the problem ".

The study also showed that the new treatment also works for vitiligo, which causes the skin to become discolored due to the loss of melamine pigment.

According to Dr. Weissmann, aesthetically, vitiligo can cause serious social emotional effects on patients. The birth of an effective treatment for this skin disease can radically improve the lives of many people.

In the new study, the scientists tested their proprietary method for 2,411 patients with vitiligo in many different countries. After being treated with pseudocatalase with the activation of sunlight, the skin color and eyelids of the patients returned to normal.

However, the team has not yet revealed when their technology for silver hair and vitiligo treatment technology will be widely sold in the market.
